distinguished? or just fucking old?

I am, by nature, an extremely phlegmatic and lazy person who is an active(??) procrastinator with many things. Why do something today, after all, when you can do it tomorrow?

This extends to many areas of my life. One, in particular is shaving.

I don't like to shave, especialy not daily. And I've never had too. I'm a relatively hairless guy. It takes me weeks to grown anything close to something resembling a mustache. It's impossible for me to grow a beard or even a goatee. I can't even grow a fucking "soulpatch," for Chrissakes. *sigh*

When I let my facial hair grow, I just get the general fuzzy, semi-scruffy look. And I've gotten OK with that. And sometimes I like to be scruffy and not bother with shaving.

But now, unfortunately, that will have to change.

Not because of a work dress code. Certainly not because I suddenly got a woman in my life and she hates scruff. Not because I've suddenly developed a fondness for my Mach-3 razor.

Because the white hairs have sprouted and are spreading like fucking spreading white hairs. Grrrr!!This is a detail shot of the pic above. Click on it to get the full appreciation of the white spikes of hair on my jawline.

And look... if I can have a couple of long, thick, kinky strands of silver at 31 (that I mercilessly seek out and pluck), then you damn well better recognise that you're going to have them at 37! (well, not long and kinky)

Oh DZER, we all know that age is a state of mind. I am pretty sure that mentally, you're still as young as you were last week, last month, and even last year! Don't let a few pale hairs worry you. I've been battling them for years! Now they make up the highlights in my hair. LOL Gray hair doesn't absorb color the same way as the not gray, so I have instant blonde highlights! Now the appearance of a gray pube... that was a little more disconcerting, but I've survived! And I don't let hair color make me feel old... I have a teenager for that! xox
